"THE MYTH OF NORMAL"
BY GILBERT GARCIA
The Myth of Normal, oh how it deceives,
Telling us how we should be and what to believe.
Its expectations and judgments cause such pain,
Pushing us to conform, to fit and to feign.
But who is to say what is "normal" at all?
These labels and boxes, they only enthrall.
For we are all unique, with stories untold,
Our differences, strengths, and flaws to behold.
Let us break free from this limiting tale,
Embrace our true selves, and never fail
To honor the beauty within our own hearts,
And support others to do their own part.
For in embracing our true diversity,
We find unity, love, and true authenticity.
The Myth of Normal, we'll leave it behind,
And celebrate all that makes us one of a kind.
